Our sweet little Tia was sick with a nasty ear ache last night. Since I'm mostly dead when I sleep and don't tend to hear any noises in the night like loud explosions, screams, sirens, etc., let alone my gentle daughters quiet sobs, as usual it ended up Kim being the one to be up throughout the night taking care of Tia. As a result Kim and I thought it best to scratch the planned morning 3 mile run. Kim had to work today and has a way busy day and I know she hates to miss but since she is racing the 5K tomorrow I put my "coach" hat on and told her she would be fine missing today and might gain some advantage by having fresher legs tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to pacing Kim, I hope she still likes me and keeps me on as coach (and husband) after all is said and done with the race :)
Went 7 miles solo at work in the early afternoon on Kuhni road. Legs are starting to get some zip back and feeling fresher every day the last 2-3 days. Pretty much uneventful run, although I did see some cool migratory birds out in the fields and marsh. Ave pace 7:39. |
